Wouldn’t the Catalina’s in the “more you shop” promo be store coupons since it’s not a manufacturer putting them out? In which case, you wouldn’t be able to double them. Not trying to be a downer, just wondered about this. 🙂

No, we are using store coups for the more you shop promo, so doubles can definitely be used. The CATs will print out at the end of your transaction good towards your next purchase. I believe the CATs are manufacturer coups anyways from General Mills.

at the top of the catalinas it says either “manufacturer coupon” or “store coupon”. You can double the manufacturer coupons…this is an awesome thing because you can us it on items your already buying or maybe on a needed item thats not on sale! You may also use a manufacture coupon/doubled with a catalina/doubled on the same item!!

Kayla- These promotions vary sometimes the catalina is a store coupon and sometimes the catalina is a manufacturers coupon. IF it is a manufacturers coupon you can then double during your next transaction 😉

You can use a store and manuf coupon and a doubler all on one item, but you can only double the manuf coupon (not the store coupon). If you think you might have a problem with the cashier which you shouldn’t) make sure you bring a copy of the coupon policy with you.

Actually, the policy says one store coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The double coupon is a store coupon and technically should not be used in the same transaction as another store coupon. I realize some cashiers do allow this but it is not policy.

Agreeing with Pam. The coupon policy specifically says that you may use one MFR and one Store Coupon per item. Albertsons clarified in their latest update that the Doubler IS to be considered a Store Coupon and so it cannot be used to double a MRF coupon on an item that you are also using another Store Coupon for. Happy to help!

If you used all three towards 1 item- you would technically be using 2 store coups and 1 man. coup for 1 item. Policy states 1 store and 1 man. per item. The buy more and save promo is not considered a store coupon- its a promotion that will print out CATs at the end of your transaction.

For the store coupons on the front of the ad for the 3 day sale; these cannot be used with TTV coups because they are both considered store coupons.

You are correct Sarah. The TTV is a store coupon. 1 store and 1 man. coupon per item. If you were to use a TTV, man., and store coupons on 1 item- this would be against policy because it would be rendering 2 store coupons and 1 man. coupon.

I think what some of us are trying to say is- use your manuf. coupon + your TTV, then on your next transaction you can double the catalina on any item you aren’t already using a coupon for. For example, I use all my MF coupons + TTV coupons, then I save all the catalinas and double them on things like produce and meat, that I don’t have other coupons for. Thus making all your $1 catalinas- $2 catalinas.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi Jo,

Absolutely! As long as there is 1 man coup and 1 store coup (TTV) per item, you’re good to go!

Sheryl, you can’t use the doubler to get 2 free paper towels. Albertsons clarified their coupon policy to say that doubling a coupon cannot reduce the price below zero on an item (so no overage using doublers.) So 1 coupon, 1 free, not 2. 🙁

I noticed that the list of cereal coupons available have been updated…thank you for that. I printed all the $1/1 PB Cheerios I could thinking they were part of the sale and was very disappointed when I went to the store. I really appreciate all your match ups!

You can’t double the 35 cent coupon if you are also using the in store coupon that makes them 88 cents. Either double the 35 cent coupon or use the 88 cent instore coupon and one 35 cent coupon making them 53 cents. You can only use one store coupon and on manu coupon. The ttv is considered a store coupon. HTH. 🙂

Does anyone know if I get a catalina in the first transaction (for example $1 on Rice a Roni) can I use it in the second transaction for the same item and get another CAT? I guess this is called “rolling”.

Yes Carrie, rolling CATs works at Albertsons- your CATs for each transaction should always print out regardless if you use the CAT from your previous transaction (Not like Walgreens RR). My cashier does this automatically after the first transaction takes place.

You can call your Albertsons and ask to preorder your items. You will just ring them up with transactions using 3 TTV coups at a time. You preorder 21 items and want to use 21 coups + 21 TTV coups = 7 transactions.

Standard Albertsons TTV policy is 3 transactions of doubles at a time. After your third transaction- you can get right back in line to do 3 more transactions. Repeat the process until you are finished shopping. You may have to unload and get right back to shopping.

Note- all stores vary.. some cashiers will do more than 3 transactions in a row. Just ask, never hurts. Hope this helps.

I am confused! Which coupons/scenario are being used to get the GM cereal all free?? Same question with the fruit snacks for .90/ box. Lowest I could get them down to was .25/box for cereal and 1.12/box for the fruit snacks, counting the value of the catalina.
Help?! Thanks!!
